词源：
pile (n.1)early 15c., “heap or stack of something,” usually consisting of an indefinite number of separate objects arranged in a more or less regular conical or pyramidal form, from Old French pile “a heap, a stack,” and directly from Latin pila “a pillar,” also “stone barrier, pier” (see pillar).
The sense development in Latin would have been from “pier, harbor wall of stones,” to “something heaped up.” Middle English pile also could mean “pillar supporting something, pier of a bridge” (mid-15c.). In English, the verb in the sense of “to heap (up)” is recorded from c.1400.
Middle English also had a noun pile meaning “castle, tower, stronghold (late 14c.), which persisted in a sense of “large building.” OED regards this as a separate word, of doubtful origin, but other sources treat them as the same.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
堆（n.1）15世纪早期，“某物的堆或堆”，通常由不定数量的独立物体组成，这些物体排列成或多或少规则的圆锥形或金字塔形，来自古法语堆“一堆，一堆， ”，直接源自拉丁语 pila“一根柱子”，也有“石头屏障、码头”（见柱子）。拉丁语中的意义发展可能是从“码头，港口的石头墙”到“堆积起来的东西”。中古英语中的“pile”也可能意味着“支撑某物的柱子、桥墩”（15 世纪中期）。在英语中，“to heap（向上）”意义的动词是从c.1400开始记录的。中古英语也有一个名词“pile”，意思是“城堡、塔楼、要塞（14世纪晚期）”，它一直保留着“大型建筑”的含义。《牛津英语词典》将其视为一个单独的词，来源可疑，但其他资料来源将它们视为“大型建筑”。相同。相关条目及更多
